Description of function The “thermio™ eco BI1S” and “thermio™ eco BI7S” timers are mechanical single-channel synchronous timers. The “thermio™ BI1S” timer can switch the con- nected load with a smallest possible switching time of 15 minutes. The “thermio™ BI7S” timer can control a connected load on each day with a smallest possible switching time of 2 hours.
Page 10
Manual switch The timers have a manual switch; this can switch between the modes (automatic), 0 (OFF) and I (ON).

Residual risks WARNING! Danger to life due to electric shock! Improper assembly and installation of the device may result in life-threatening electrical voltages. − Have assembly and connection performed by a qualified electrician only.
Page 15
WARNING! Danger due to insufficient wire cross-sec- tion! If wires with an insufficiently large cross-sec- tion are used, short circuits or fires may occur. − For the flexible wires, only use terminals with a maximum cross-section of 2.5 mm².
Installation NOTICE! Danger of material damage to wires in the wall! Selecting the wrong installation position can result in material damage to any wires in the wall. − Make sure that there are no wires in the wall at the installation position. Personnel: •...

NOTICE! Danger of material damage to the wires! When closing the housing, there is a risk of pinching wires. This results in material damage to the wires and faulty contacts. − Make sure that the wires are not pinched when the you close the housing. 16.
Operation Setting the day of the week/time With the “thermio™ BI7S”" timer (Fig. 7/6) the day of the week (Monday – Sunday) and the current time have to be set. With the “thermio™ BI1S” timer (Fig. 7/5) only the cur- rent time has to be set.

NOTICE! Risk of material damage due to turning anti-clockwise! Turning the dial or the clock hand anti- clockwise can result in material damage to the timer. − Make sure to turn the dial and clock hand clockwise only. “thermio™ BI7S” only: To set the current day of the week, rotate the dial (Fig.
Page 33
Setting the time To roughly set the time, turn the dial (Fig. 7/2) clockwise until the indicator marker points to the current time. In 12 hour display: 6:00 = 6.00 (a.m.) and 16:00 = 4.00 (p.m.) The timer does not distinguish between summer and winter time.

The dial and the clock hand rotate together ð with the current time.
Setting the on/off time Personnel: • User Fig. 8: Setting the tappets With the “thermio™ BI1S” timer, each tappet corresponds to 15 minutes of switching time.
Page 36
With the “thermio™ BI7S” timer, each tappet corresponds to 2 hours of switching time. If the tappets are pushed inwards, the heating system is switched off during that time; if the tappets are pushed outwards, the heating system is switched on during that time.
Selecting the operating mode In addition to automatic mode, which switches according to the defined switching times, the device can also be switched permanently on or off. Personnel: • User Switch the manual switch to the desired position. The device reacts according to the position. ð...

Disposal ENVIRONMENT! Environmental hazard! Incorrect disposal could result in environ- mental dangers. − Electric scrap and electronic components must be disposed of correctly, i.e. the parts for disposal must be sorted into material groups. − Disposal must be environmentally respon- sible and must employ state-of-the-art environmental protection, recycling and disposal technology.
